Magic Detection, Platinum Coin
About half a minute passed.
The brown-haired woman who had left returned with a middle-aged man dressed in a black formal suit, with a Pocket Watch hanging on his chest and wearing single-lens glasses, looking like an appraiser.
This middle-aged man became serious after just one glance at the Bone Chain on the package.
"This way, sir, please."
The middle-aged man respectfully said to Tang Zheng, extending his hand in an inviting gesture, pointing towards the other side of the counter.
Tang Zheng nodded slightly, picked up the package, and followed the middle-aged man towards the back.
As Tang Zheng left,
A clamor immediately erupted among the Adventurers in the hall. Before, it was just speculation, but now it was completely confirmed that the two black chains were indeed Bone Chains from an Evil Spirit Dog.
"The Small Evil Spirit Dog that was following him should be newly born, right?"
"Once it's raised, it will be a Magical Beast with a difficulty level of 45 when it matures!"
"Evil Spirit Dogs are cunning Magical Beasts and are quite dangerous. Even if you raise one, it will likely bite its trainer to death once it has the strength to resist."
"That black-haired kid dares to tame such a Magical Beast; he might be a Magical Beast Summoner."
"I think he's more like a Beast Tamer."
Various discussions arose in the hall. Clearly, discussing a strong person was more interesting than discussing what had happened in the Tove Great Forest.
Some Adventurers in the crowd remained silent, seemingly pondering something, but most people's first impression of the suddenly appearing Tang Zheng was that he was someone not to be trifled with.
If Tang Zheng, who had just left, heard the crowd's discussion, a satisfied expression would surely appear on his face.
What is Disguise?
Disguise is about making your opponent misjudge your intelligence and information as much as possible. The existence of the Small Evil Spirit Dog was already a layer of deceptive behavior.
And peeling away this layer of deceptive Disguise, the information revealed would be even more convincing.
Inside a simply decorated, very quiet room.
Tang Zheng placed the package on the table and sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for the middle-aged man's appraisal.
"Please, take your time. It will take a moment."
The middle-aged man brought over a cup of black tea, respectfully placed it in front of Tang Zheng, and then spoke.
"Go ahead." Tang Zheng nodded.
The middle-aged man then sat on the sofa opposite him, wearing a pair of white gloves, and gently picked up the Bone Chain to observe it.
"Both the luster and the hardness are of excellent quality."
"It's the Bone Chain of an adult Evil Spirit Dog."
The middle-aged man gently stroked the Bone Chain with his palm, his eyes gleaming slightly. Then, he found the head of the Bone Chain, saw the location of the break, and paused: "The break is a bit rough, but it's not a big problem. It can be polished with a little time."
Then,
The middle-aged man gently put down the chain, raised both hands, aimed them at the Bone Chain, and chanted softly: "*Magic Detection!*"
A faint blue Mana light flashed from the middle-aged man's palms.
Buzz—
『Discovered Second Order Magic 「Magic Detection」, required level 8~14, current conditions met.』
『Consume 1 Skill Point to learn?』
Seeing the information flashing on the stats panel,
Tang Zheng was slightly stunned and glanced at the middle-aged man opposite him with some surprise. He didn't expect the other party to be a Magic Caster.
"No."
At the same time, he thought to himself.
"Magic Detection" is a relatively weak type of detection magic. It can only simply identify the Mana intensity of an item or whether an opponent has a Magic Item containing Mana.
It has little practical value in combat.
A moment later.
The middle-aged man canceled the magic, a look of regret on his face.
"After the Evil Spirit Dog dies, the mana contained in the Bone Chains will dissipate partially, especially during the process of cutting off the Bone Chains, you will also lose some mana."
"So special methods are needed, but the guest's Bone Chains are still quite well preserved, but the price will be slightly lower."
The middle-aged man looked up at Tang Zheng and explained respectfully and earnestly.
"Can you sell them as soon as possible?"
Tang Zheng heard the other party's answer, and he also felt a little regretful.
"Of course."
The middle-aged man nodded quickly, "This kind of high-quality magic material can be made into magic weapons with a little processing."
"If the guest is not in a hurry, it will only take three days for us to find the buyer who needs these Bone Chains the most and sell them at the highest price."
"Of course, we will charge a 10% fee."
"If you want to sell them as soon as possible, we will also collect them directly, but the price will be lower, and the commission fee will naturally not be needed."
Both options have their advantages and disadvantages.
Tang Zheng thought for a moment, "How much will you pay for them?"
"360 Gold Coins per chain, a total of 720 Gold Coins for two Bone Chains." The middle-aged man straightened his back and spoke immediately.
Tang Zheng's eyes moved slightly. This price was actually beyond his expectations.
But considering the value of magic items in this world, it was normal.
Seeing Tang Zheng agree.
The middle-aged man's face clearly had a smile, and he immediately got up and left, about two or three minutes.
When the middle-aged man returned again, he had two money bags in his hand, one of which was obviously bulging, while the other was much flatter.
"720 Gold Coins, because it is not convenient to carry, I took the initiative to apply for Platinum Coin exchange for the guest."
The middle-aged man put the two money bags on the table, pushed them in front of Tang Zheng, and said softly: "Here are 34 Platinum Coins, and here are 40 Gold Coins."
Platinum Coins? Tang Zheng frowned slightly when he heard the name. He had only heard of them, but had never seen them before.
Moreover, the exchange ratio of 34 Platinum Coins and 40 Gold Coins is also problematic.
"Roar..." The Small Evil Spirit Dog seemed to sense Tang Zheng's emotional change, and stared at the middle-aged man with sharp teeth.
The middle-aged man's face turned pale, and he quickly explained: "The exchange ratio of Platinum Coins is different from the exchange ratio of Gold, Silver, and Copper Coins in the Re-Estize Kingdom... or rather, in various countries."
"20 Gold Coins can only be exchanged for one Platinum Coin. In some small countries, the exchange rate of Platinum Coins is even higher."
"Moreover, Platinum Coins have a higher priority in various countries. Of course, if the guest wants Gold Coins, I will exchange them back for you immediately."
The middle-aged man's tone was a little flustered, and he leaned back, looking at the Small Evil Spirit Dog with some fear, fearing that it would pounce on him.
Platinum Coins, huh.
Tang Zheng heard the middle-aged man's explanation, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he reached out and took out a Platinum Coin from the money bag.
The color looked similar to Silver Coins, but the weight was obviously heavier and thicker than Gold Coins.
Suddenly!
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed, seeing that on the back of the Platinum Coin, the emblem of the Re-Estize Kingdom was not engraved, but the image of a dragon's head.
Dragon! Tang Zheng's eyes flashed.
The dragons in this world are all extraordinary beings.
Platinum Coin? Platinum Dragon Lord?
